My roosters 11 months old (late bloomer) And My eggs "fertile-ness" is like 2/6 were fertile. I was worried. And Today I reconized how hard he would try to "Be excessful" like 5 attemps *noteat I saw of * Tell its 8:00 pm at night , and I had to put medicine on a few of my hens comb because their frost bit. And I went to grab a hen and she flattend her back (My rooster saw her do this!) I grabbed her and started to put her medicine on, And my rooster goes into the back of the coop, and all I could hear was my rooster clucking and doing a slide movement... So I ran back there to see what was going on, and he was mating my Red sex-link! and was excessful... I guess when my barred rock hen flattend her back it gave him an idea. Weird enough I think that made my day haha. Makes me feel better knowing then I go to put eggs in the bator from my coop, atleast a few will be fertile.. Hopefully My eggs "fertile-ness" will go up BY THE WAY THE BARRED ROCK ROOSTER IN MY AVATAR IS HIM
LOL .. I remember how proud I was of my first rooster when he did the deed and my hens' eggs were fertile ... Lol
today I cracked open 2 dys worth of eggs I have been collecting and the rate was 7/14 where fertile. WOO HOO going up Tommorrow Im going to start collecting eggs for the bator. So by the time I get my eggs from ebay ill have around 24 of my coop eggs and 12+ from ebay
